Can Science Explain Religion?

James W. Jones. 2016. Can Sciences Explain Religion? Oxford University Press. James Jones, Distinguished Professor of Religion, Rutgers University, and ISSR member, challenges the view that the cognitive science of religion shrinks religion into insignificance if not eliminating it all together. He notes that cognitive science research is religiously neutral; it can be deployed in many different ways in relation to the actual belief in and practice of religion: to undermine it, to simply study it, and to support it. These differences are differences in interpretation of the data and, Jones suggests, a reflection of the background assumptions and viewpoints brought to the data. See the publisher's website for information.
